    Team of Destiny or Borrowed Time?

    "Team of destiny" is just a label given to a team who pulls out a series of improbable wins. It was trotted out there after we got lucky against the Cowboys in 2006 too. Then we lost in the next round. We can still win the Super Bowl, but any perceived destiny has nothing to do with it.

    If anybody tells you lucky win?

    Winning lucky is underrated. I enjoy winning convincingly too, but winning lucky makes the fans who hate us WAY angrier. That, to me, is fun.

    Would you be a fan of the Seahawks if they ever moved?

    I'm transplanted to Indiana and would drop the team in a heartbeat even if they moved to a stadium a mile from where I live. They would instantly become my least favorite NFL team. I continue to be a Seahawks fan because Washington is my home, and a displaced team is an ever-present middle...

    Are we confident in Graham fitting in?

    This isn't even remotely a concern.

    Anyone want to re-live 2006 OT loss vs Chicago in playoffs?

    We would have had 1:15 to get a FG, and with a reliable kicker in Josh Brown. Not that it would have been easy, but that wouldn't have been such a historic comeback. The Packers were 98% to win against us with three minutes left, per Advanced Football Analytics...

    How effective have you been at work this week?

    Had a deadline to meet, so no choice but to have been effective... Met it at 4:00 yesterday, will be 100% worthless today.

    Who else is flouting their company dress code today?

    Yeah, can't do it. If it was Colts Blue Friday I would wear my Seahawks jersey, but Colt fans are still a bit salty that they're not in this...

    Pete Prickso: "Wilson closer to Tim Tebow than Tom Brady"

    Let's definitely keep giving this guy traffic. He seems like a really enlightened thinker.

    Have Bad Feeling About Possible Officiating

    Officiating will probably be just fine. Vinovich is a very solid referee, the other officials on the crew graded out well enough to get this assignment...obviously there are no guarantees (as we once painfully learned), but this isn't a factor worth worrying about up front.

    Jawless I on Mike and Mike this morning, 1/27

    Can't tell if this post is a parody or not.

    How could any of you have doubted a Seahawks comeback?!?!

    I definitely love the thought of the misery our result inflicted on those who hate us. When we pulled ahead late in regulation, I turned to my friend and said "Can you imagine how furious the people who hate us must be right now?"

    Seahawks are home team for Super Bowl

    Yep. The team can opt for the away jerseys if they want, but I'd rather see them out there in the blues myself.

    Belicheat confirmed...Deflate-gate

    It's super weird for a Colts fan to post undercover pretending to be a Pats fan like this. On a Seahawks board, no less. Super weird.

    How could any of you have doubted a Seahawks comeback?!?!

    People who brag that they never lost hope are really just bragging that they don't understand probability, which is an odd thing to brag about. I mean, I never turned off the game or considered turning it off (though I certainly would have done so the second the clock hit zero so I wouldn't...
